I sit down with FreedomWorks Chief Economist Dr. Wayne Brough to discuss the upcoming EPA "Regulatory Trainwreck" - so called because there are so many regulations in it that they can't even sum it up with any other word.
The Executive Branch was unable to pass cap and trade, and has instead given power to regulatory agencies, devoid of congressional oversight, in order to skirt accountability and push their agenda.

Dear Senator,FreedomWorks is a leading grassroots organization with over one million members fighting for lower taxes, less government and more freedom. I am writing today to urge you to cosponsor S. 228, “Defending America’s Affordable Energy and Jobs Act.” Introduced by Sen. Barrasso (R-Wyo.), this bill would stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating greenhouse gases without specific congressional authorization.

There's no rest for weary tea partiers - Project 21 and FreedomWorks fellow Deneen Borelli has a hard-hitting piece at the Daily Caller about the next big battle, the EPA's CO2 regulation scheme.
With cap-and-trade legislation nearly dead in the Senate, the Obama administration now hopes to ram climate regulation through the backdoor.

Sen. Murkowski isn't the only one with a resolution to stop the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases under its endangerment finding. Like the 41 Senators now backing the Murkowski resolution, a similar bipartisan efforts is now underway in the House:
Two top House Democrats have introduced a measure aimed at blocking the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating pollution-causing greenhouse gases.

Apparently a mere $10 billion in FY11 isn't enough for EPA Adminstrator Lisa Jackson to finish her diabolical economy crushing plan. So she trekked up to the Hill this week looking for more taxdollars to pay for greenhouse gas regs.

Many analyses have indicated that the economic implications of cap and trade would be detrimental to our domestic economy. Cap and trade consists of mandates, subsidies, and efficiency standards, among other provisions, which would ultimately increase production costs for businesses and therefore increase energy costs for families and households.

New FreedomWorks member and geophysicist, Dennis Henke of Wichita, KS is testifying today before the EPA at a hearing about the regulation of CO2 - carbon dioxide, gas we all exhale and that the EPA recently declared to be a harmful greenhouse gas worthy of regulation under the Clean Air Act. In a press release, Henke points out the faulty science and poor logic behind the ruling.
